This course is aimed at the basic network theorems (Thevenin, Norton, nodal analysis, mesh analysis, transient response, complete response, and superposition) to analyze first and second order liner RLC circuits.

Class Schedule:

Meets for 3 hours of lecture and 1 hour of discussion each week for 10 weeks.

Computer Usage:

The student is required to use PSPICE circuit simulation software and a scientific calculator for all the calculations in this class.

Three weeks of this course are devoted to elementary design of linear circuits. In particular, time is devoted to (a) the design of voltage and current dividers, (b) the design of basic operational amplifier circuits, including voltage followers, summers, and inverting summers, and (c) the design of basic RLC networks. Homework: 50%.
